One night's flight until dawn, Reed and the group returned to the city of dawn.
At 9 am, City Hall.
Changing into a white mage robe, Reed stood at his desk without sitting down.
Dark eyes stared at the mixed-blood murloc Catalina standing on the gray velvet stall in the office with her bare feet.
This mixed-blood murloc transformed back into a human body again at sunrise. This stunning girl is now wearing a semi-transparent, light white gauze, with long flax-colored, slightly curly hair hanging loosely behind her head. The sea-blue eyes looked at him indifferently.
Although the mermaid was exchanged back, Reed did not know how to speak at this time.
I want to complain inexplicably, this is too inconsistent with his style, how can he always feel like persecuting a pure girl.
I'm a good person... right?
Reed inexplicably raises a sense of guilt.
It was really that Katherina's deep and calm eyes were like a priest praying to a statue of a in the church, with a light and holy mind that made people unable to live with evil thoughts.
This mixed-blood murloc is like his holy priest Nello, who can instantly extinguish strange thoughts.
"Kathrina, I am the master of the City of Dawn, Kachar, you can call me the owner of Kachar."
Catalina looked at the extremely handsome Reed at the desk with a plain expression, her sea-blue eyes never showed much emotion.
Without receiving a response from the other party, Reed raised its brows and looked at the 17-year-old girl with scorching eyes.
"Do you know why I paid such a high price to exchange you back?"
"Do I need to know?"
Catalina spoke for the first time, her tone soft and pleasant, but the indifferent and calmness was incomparably the same as the color in her eyes.
"Or, do I have the right to choose?"
The power of choice? Reed can't help being dumb when hearing this. When has the weak ever mastered this kind of power?
"I......"
"It doesn't need to be this way, City Lord Cachar, I know you may want something valuable from me, or I am the value body that you fancy.
But this is not important.
Tell me, what do you want me to do? "
Catalina interrupted Reed, her tone calm to almost indifferent.
Reed froze for a moment, calm as water, without waves, these two words seemed to be the best description of this mermaid.
But he didn't like this tone very much.
"Yes, you hide a secret that I want to get, a secret that can change the world.
So, I exchanged you from the Blue Star tribe for two top level 16 behemoths. "
The tone has also become flat.
"I need the secret from you."
Catalina was taken aback for a moment, and a very small mockery appeared on that delicate face, "The secret to change the world?
A lowly, despicable, mixed-blood murloc with dirty blood? ?
Lord Kachar, you, maybe you have found the wrong person. "
These words...Reed narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hung an extremely unpleasant arc.
"Every existence of life is unique and precious.
You ignore it.
The blood in your body is not what you think is humble and dirty.
On the contrary, in my opinion, your existence is unique...Your bloodline is more noble than any murloc, and your value is enough to be called the treasure of the lost sea, the most brilliant in that sea. pearl.
That's why I will bring you back to my city at all costs. "
Speaking of this Reed shrugged, his tone was domineering and strong.
"In fact, if the Blue Star Tribe disagrees, I will grab you at all costs.
Even if a war between two forces is started, even if countless lives are paid.
Catalina, your value is beyond the limit of your imagination. "
The value of being able to be noted by the system as a hidden life that can change the pattern of the mainland is definitely beyond simple words.
And even if this secret is aside, just the two unawakened precious bloodlines of this mixed-blood murloc are enough for him to expend great efforts to bring this mixed-blood murloc back.
Although Catalina thought that Reed might say good things, she didn't expect his words to be so firm and heavy.
Your value is beyond the limit of your imagination...
Silence, a long silence.
It wasn't until it seemed that a century had passed in the house that Catalina shook her head, her face as calm as before.
"Sorry, I don't know the secret you said."
Reed frowned, and he keenly sensed that Catalina was not lying.
Her heartbeat, her breath, her blood, and all the reactions of her body are not unusual.
It is impossible for a life whose power is banned to lie in front of him without being noticed.
In this way... his first guess—this secret was kept by Kasrina and shattered.
And the second guess is-this half-blood murloc may be the secret itself.
"No, maybe in your cognition, that secret is just a piece of news you got by chance, not important, you didn't even take it seriously..."
Reed flashed a few thoughts, and continued to ask, "Maybe you can tell me some strange things you have encountered."
Catalina's sea-blue eyes looked at Reed so plainly, "I'm not good at remembering.
It seems that the blood has the magic to control the soul... maybe you can try it. "
I......
Reed mouth twitched.
Every step of this girl was beyond his expectation, but even if he knew this kind of spell, he didn't dare to mess with it.
Wouldn't it be for nothing if there was an accident? ? Kindred like blood, but not good at playing with souls.
Should we use the power of faith?
But just as this thought came up, the expression in Reed changed, and an indescribable chill rose in his heart, as if he would find great danger if he dared to do so.
Reed shook his head and immediately dismissed the thought. After a while, the chill slowly subsided.
Surprised.
what's going on? ?
He subconsciously opened the attribute panel and looked at his 1% priesthood.
He could feel that his priesthood seemed to touch some taboo when he came up with the idea of controlling Catalina with the power of faith, and then immediately warned him.
This is a more advanced warning than his skill-threat perception.
"It is said that when the gods encounter an indescribable danger, they will be vigilant in order to avoid the coming danger..."
Reed remembered the descriptions of the gods in the information about the gods he collected. Gods are unimaginable existences, and they can vaguely perceive the dangers they will encounter in the future.
Even some ancient evil gods have been dead for countless years, but as long as someone recites his real name, he will reconsolidate his soul from the dead and recover.
The power of God is unpredictable.
Although he is not comparable to those ancient existences in the legend, after all, he is also a pseudo-god that has activated the priesthood and has his own sect.
So this scene seems to be easy to explain.
Thinking of this Reed, I added another layer of attention to Katherina.
"The secrets this girl possesses are beyond my imagination."
Being warned by the priesthood also gave Reed a bit of warning. The power of faith he has always relied on is not omnipotent.
You can't have the mentality of being omnipotent as long as you have the power of faith, or you won't even be able to bubble up when you get scammed.
Glory has existed for hundreds of millions of years from the beginning of the creation of the world, and the oldest history has even been buried in the long river of time, so long that it cannot be verified.
In the long years, after the inheritance and accumulation of the glory of the aborigines from generation to generation, how many powerful and mysterious existences remain in this world is beyond count. How many long-lived longevity species are still alive?
Thinking of this question, the arrogance in Reed instantly subsided a lot.
Although the power he currently possesses is not weak, it is still far from being able to walk horizontally in glory.
The more this world he comes into contact with, the broader his vision.
When he first entered the glory, he thought that at level 10 he would be able to call the wind and rain in Grimm.
But until he faced the attack of the Dark Covenant, he didn't know that what he was in contact with was only the most surface things in the city, and the dark side still contained countless secrets.
And then Beamon in Lisle City, the undead who invaded several empires from the north, plus the crown of the sea who had ignited the divine fire.
The higher he stood, the more extraordinary things he saw.
Accumulate grain, build walls high, and slowly become king.
The ancients do not deceive me.
I still need a wave of wretched development, waiting for my Liu Shen costume...
Thinking of this, Reed shook his head, retracted his scattered thoughts, and said squarely at the charming girl in front of him.
"No, Catalina, you have been a citizen of Dawn from the moment I was taken into the city of Dawn.
In this city, you will be protected by me.
As long as you don't break the laws of the city of dawn, no one can hurt you. "
The words in Reed are righteous, and they don't have the same idea of using the power of faith.
Catalina took a deep look at Reed, her blue eyes didn't appreciate his good acting skills.
Instead, he said something that made Reed extremely surprising.
"Mixed murlocs are heretics, this is an unchangeable concept.
I think you will not say anything similar in the Lost Sea in the future. The tradition of the Murloc tribe cannot be changed. "
After Catalina finished speaking, she glanced at Reed faintly, "Cachar City, arrange my place, I don't think you will let me choose where to live and what to do."
This half-blood murloc... Reed always feels like he is seen through in front of Katherina, and his pants are chilly.
Those calm eyes seemed to be a wise man who had read through the world's cold and warmth, and saw through the world, and his words and deeds made Reed feel a strong sense of indifference.
This is not like a 17-year-old girl, more like an older existence than him.
The eyes are facing each other, Enron is plain.
Reed took a deep look at Catalina.
"You are very important to the city of dawn, and I will not let you leave the city of dawn.
But in this city, you can move around freely, of course, under the supervision of my people.
At the same time, within three months, I will not let your power recover, and the lost grass will continue to block your magic. "
Without hiding it, Reed directly surfaced his attitude. He could feel that he didn't need too much falsehood in front of this mixed-blood murloc.
"And then?" Sure enough, Catalina didn't have the slightest surprise, nor did she have any unwillingness. It was so plain, as if to ask him if he had breakfast again...
Reed shook his head, "I will arrange an independent residence for you, and in addition, I will arrange a job for you in the city hall.
Here, you need to pay your own labor to support yourself. "
Catalina finally saw some fluctuations in her eyes when she heard the last words. She arranged a job...
Does this vampire really plan to imprison her?
Seeing Catalina’s doubts, Reed smiled slightly, "I said, on the day you came to the city of dawn, you were a citizen of the city of dawn.
In this land, as long as you do not violate the laws of the city of dawn, no one can harm you under the protection of the blood race. "
After speaking, I added a meaningful sentence.
"Even if you are a murloc."
Catalina didn't know the meaning of the last sentence, but it didn't prevent her from feeling better at the moment.
"I will abide by the laws you make, Lord Kachar."
Catalina is gone, without shoes, barefoot, step by step, like a saint coming to the world, leaving this power center under the stunning gaze of the residents who come to the city hall to do business.
Catalina's beauty that was enough to overwhelm all beings spread throughout the city of Dawn in less than a morning.
All the residents know that the great City Lord Kachar brought back a young girl with a beautiful face this time.
Even many residents thought that this girl might become the concubine of the Lord Kachar in the future.
After all, that girl is too beautiful, with a perfect face, a pure and indifferent temperament, and a beautiful and attractive figure, everything seems to be comparable to Her Royal Highness Nilo of the Breaking Dawn Sect.
Reed didn't know that this incident was spread so wickedly by the gossip residents, at this time, he was looking at Harrison at his desk with a frown.
He called the speaker of the city hall after Katrina left.
Although it was only two days away, the far-reaching impact of the opening of trade channels with the Murloc tribe still needed some time for the City of Dawn to digest.
"Under the crown, that girl is really a mixed-blood murloc?"
After listening to Reed, Harrison was full of surprise in his eyes afterwards, and then he was a little puzzled, "But even if it is a half-blood murloc, we don't seem to need to pay attention to her so much... "
Reed shook his head, "This girl hides a secret that can change the world.
But the other party didn't seem to know this secret, and she might even be the secret itself.
Whether it is true or not, we may have unexpected gains by observing for a period of time.
So no matter what, this matter must be arranged.
You dispatch the female blood of the Scarlet Blade. There is no difference around the clock on the 24th. Even if the other party is bathing and sleeping, there must be more than two blood races present.
I need to know everything about her. "
Harrison's expression shrank, the secret to change the world? He instantly understood the importance of this matter.
"Yes, patriarch, if this is the case, do we need to arrange for her to go to a quiet department of the city hall alone? To facilitate monitoring."
"No, just send her to the busiest departments such as the Household Registration Department and the Civil Affairs Department.
Only the more people she contacts, the more likely she is to unwittingly reveal something. "
"As you wish," Harrison nodded, and immediately understood the plan of Reed.
"You can make arrangements for this matter. Pay attention to the cooperation of the intelligence command center." Reed looked at Ha's own general with satisfaction.
"In addition, I have already opened up the trading channels on the Murloc tribe.
This matter is the responsibility of the City Hall and the Ministry of Foreign Trade.
Frey has now returned to the City of Dawn, you can communicate with him alone for related matters.
The next deal with the Murloc Tribe will be a week later, and Frey has the size and requirements for the Murloc armor.
I need the weapon factory to produce at least 5,000 rare-level equipment within a week, and it is suitable for murlocs to wear and can resist seawater corrosion. "
Without hesitation, Reed directly gave Harrison an order.
The transaction channel with the murloc tribe has been opened up, but the more important thing is to expand this transaction channel and let this transaction channel play its due role.
It is now mid-July. In the inventory of the Scarlet Mage Tower, only the magic materials that can be produced by the sea are on the verge of exhaustion.
Once the remaining materials are consumed, the magic factory will face shutdown.
As the most important source of property in the City of Dawn, the Scarlet Mage Tower must not make any mistakes.
"Yes, patriarch.
When you leave the city of dawn, I have notified Master Varun to be ready.
As long as the relevant design parameters are in place, the weapon factory can be started as soon as possible. "
After saying this, Harrison hesitated for a moment, "In addition, the penetration of Grimm by the Marquis of Stanley seems to have encountered some trouble.
Those sects of the light gods are more difficult than imagined.
He urgently needs a batch of equipment that can cover his body..."
Hearing this, Reed narrowed his eyes.
Shadow of Dawn, this plan to penetrate the human nobles was implemented by Stanley himself after it was formulated, but it has not received any good results yet.
The main reason is-the human nobles are too afraid of death.
There are many dark lives on the main plane of Glory, and human beings are weak. Those nobles who hold power but are not high in their own ranks are almost covered with enchanted equipment produced by the light gods.
Not to mention being close to these nobles, even those nobles far away from Shiba have a great probability of discovering blood.
This is a higher level of power, and ordinary blood races can't get close to each other.
And those who can approach have a huge problem generally, those nobles don't believe in blood at all.
Even after seeing the blood clan, he would immediately send out a signal to warn him.
The fear of the dark life of these greedy nobles almost penetrated their bones.
So Stanley has been unable to find a breakthrough in the past few months of (Grimm).
"Stanley's direction seems to have some problems," Reed shook his head, "Harrison, you send a message to Stanley to let him give up his original idea.
Human nobles can control the world for so long, it is impossible to penetrate so easily.
Let Stanley begin to infiltrate from the marginal little nobles, and adopt the strategy of the little nobles to surround the big nobles.
Use the little nobles to lure the big nobles to take the initiative to contact us.
If an aging little nobleman suddenly became twenty years younger and appeared in front of the big nobleman by accident, would the other party be curious? ? "
One of Reed looked at Harrison deeply, "And even if it alarmed the church, those little nobles are just a dispensable piece."
Stanley's original plan was to focus on the great nobles. As long as a great noble can become a blood race, the shadow of dawn can gain a foothold in Grimm.
But the problem is equally acute. It is almost more difficult to develop great aristocrats than to break through from the 19th level. Those who hold power do not give outsiders the opportunity to get close.
The lack of progress for several months also illustrates the problem with this plan. In this case, it may not be bad to change the method.
"Yes, under the crown." Harrison continued to play the role of echo worm.
"However, it is imminent to develop equipment that can resist the light, and I will start researching in the near future."
Reed has a serious face.
In fact, it is not only Stanley who wants to have equipment that can resist the invasion of holy power, almost every blood family wants to have it.
The birth defect of the blood race restrained by the holy power is really painful.
However, this is a problem that the blood race has not been able to solve for tens of millions of years. It is still unrealistic to think of a solution in a short time.
But no matter how difficult it is, he must be prepared to try it, otherwise the chain stuck on his neck will be too uncomfortable.
The reason why Reed dares to try this is that... he has an advantage that the blood race could not have before-a sect that belongs to his light family.
Both the doctrines and the beliefs of the residents of the Sect of Breaking Dawn are all righteous light systems, and the roots are righteous.
Before this Reed, there was no such kind of sect for the kinship. Every kinship is a dark life that kills people without blinking. How can it be possible to create a harmonious society in which everyone loves? Heresy, there is a high probability that it will be killed directly.
The previous kinsmen were at best raising human blood slaves, sucking blood and killing one at a time, no different from livestock.
However, the earth soul of Reed jumped out of the blind spot of the blood family and made a non-mainstream sect in the blood family.
But let alone, the effect now seems to be better than the dark sect.
This also allows Reed to see the hope of solving the kinship's difficulties for millions of years.
After arranging several things, Reed summarized it with Harrison again.
"There are three things you need to do right now.
First, arrange for Kasrina, the mixed-blood murloc, to keep an eye on her at all times.
Second, the deal with the Murloc tribe must see results in a week.
Third, let Stanley transform the way of infiltrating human aristocrats, adopting the method of small aristocrats surrounding the big aristocrats,
Finally, immediately convene a meeting with members of the Magic Industry Research Institute.
I want to use their wisdom to study how to incorporate the power of the Dawn Breaking Sect into the equipment, so as to shield the holy power from outside to interfere with the blood.
Do these things at once. "
He has never been an inked person, and immediately started to act after arranging a few things.
Seeing Harrison leaving the office, Reed took a deep breath.
Still need to work hard, the City of Dawn is far from invincible now.
After going to the Lost Sea, although he didn't say anything, the shock in his heart was not small.
For the first time, he heard from a tribe with more than a dozen top-level combat powers above 15 that this world also has a powerful presence that has touched the realm of gods.
In contrast, ~EbookFREE.me~ The City of Dawn, which does not have a supernatural presence, seems a bit small. Not to mention the demigod, that is, the power of transcendent level. Now the City of Dawn has no way to deal with it.
Although Transcendent has stood at an extremely high position in this world, it is an absolute top power.
But the inability to cope is the inability to cope. This is an indisputable fact.
He got up and came to the half-open glass window. From the third floor, he looked down at the bluestone street where people came and went outside the city hall.
Although it has been greatly affected, the deep eyes of Reed are still full of perseverance and unshakable colors.
"Life and death are indifferent, just do it if you don't accept it....When did the city of Dawn ever counsel you?"
When the city of Dawn grows for a while, I will let you know what a big fist is.
And the black dragon in the underground world, sooner or later will tie you back to the square of dawn to watch the door.
